Movie Ending(s) That Were Completely Unexpected

[Hyba]

I love that film and I love that ending.

It left me very happy to be honest! Worth the watch just for that ending, but also for the great acting by the two main leads!

I am Legend. The ending was unexpected in that there wasn't an ending. One has the impression that the producer ran out of money or the director ran out of ideas, so they killed Will Smith off, wrapped up the shooting, and everybody went home.

The ending of that film just annoyed me. I felt it just completely undermined the whole story.

There's an alternate ending to this film where he and the he and the Vampire leader call a truce, he returns his mate to him , the vampires leave the lab, and drives off wit the woman the kid and the cure.

 

[Rodders]

Not sure I like the happy ending.

 

[Droflet]

Me either.

The Usual Suspects

As already mentioned The Empire Strikes Back.

As an aside I remember sitting down to watch Leon with a few friends. It was my second viewing and was in the full flow telling my friends what a great movie this was oblivious to looks on their faces gave them a blow by blow account revealing the ending.

Did anyone expect the big reveal towards the end of Fight Club?

 

[Droflet]

Not me. It blew my socks off. In the best possible way.

 

[Toby Frost]

Both the short story and the film of Don't Look Now have a really strange ending.

 

[Phyrebrat]

The Mist is probably my favourite ending. Also the last line of Session 9 puts a fantastic spin over the entire film.

 

[AstroZon]

Three Days of the Condor has a great unexpected plot twist near the end. It's the second to the last scene I believe.
